Minilogin help please?

[currygreg]

Hi. I am having a slight problem and was wondering if I could get some help please.

I have read the readme's and the stickies, but I am having a hard time finding out exactly what I am doing wrong.

I am attempting to set up a minilogin server. My problem arises when I execute boot5zones.bat. It gives me a "bad command or file name error" for each of the zones.

I am using Windows ME, a cable modem, and haven't patched EQ in over a month.

This is what I'm working with:

DB.ini -

host=localhost
user=my MySql username
password=My MySQl username
database=eq
compression=off

Loginserver.ini -

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
loginport=5999
worldname=Jilms Test in Progress
worldaddress=localhost
locked=false

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

Boot5zones.bat -

REM:--------------Start-----------------------
@echo off

if NOT exist spells_us.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . localhost 7995 localhost

etc.

exit
cls

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.
PAUSE

REM:---------------END------------------------

EQhost -
[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}

I am using the newest binaries (5.2), have sourced the newest *.sql files, and have granted all permissions. I have tried to follow the readme's and have searched for information regarding this problem.

I have changed localhost in boot5zones.bat to: 127.0.0.1, my IP address (www.whatismyip.com), and combinations of the three.

I feel that this problem is probably something stupid that I keep overlooking, so please accept an apology in advance. (If there is a post pertaining to my problem, please post me a link)

Thanks,

Jilm

My problem arises when I execute boot5zones.bat. It gives me a "bad command or file name error" for each of the zones.

That would appear to mean that your zone.exe is not in the same directory as boot5zones.bat, but I don't see how that could happen /shrug

EDIT: Unless 'start' is not a valid command in ME ... never used it so I don't know.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Zone.exe is in the same zone as my other binaries
